Before launching into historical memory and representation,
I’d like to highlight a few posts on the histories of feelings, emotions, and
sensations. Rob Boddice’s fascinating
post The
Arch of Hysteria discusses pain and the gendering of hysteria.My own post on Melancholy
touches on the ways seventeenth-century physicians thought of the disease.Carolyn Rance explores the “new sensation” of
Hair-brushing
by Machine in Victorian England.

Laura Sangha’s five part series on Memorial
and History discusses the memorial of sixteenth-century Protestants
martyred in Exeter.Part 1 begins with stumbling upon the
memorial and takes us through why monuments are erected in Part 3, and
culminates in a reflection on “feelings” and historical memory.In a similar vein, TheHistorian asks Should
Historians Should Feel Emotions in response to the revelation of the Tuam
babies.

Discussions of historical memory and feelings with large
doses of modern politics featured in many
posts this past month.These posts call
into question the very purpose of historical research.Catriona Pennell and Ann-Marie Einhaus
discuss 2014 as a year of anniversaries and commemoration in Teaching,
Learning and Remembrance.Richard
Blakemore discusses British values in The
Emperor’s New Whig while Jonathan Healey tackles the current debate about
the Magna
Carta.

How do you communicate history?Does it matter?The Appendix’s interview with Rachel Ponce,
entitled Fever
to Tell, discusses how she crafts the story of the 1793 Yellow Fever
Outbreak and presents it in an interactive, Choose Your Own Adventure
format.The format, Ponce argues allows readers to “to speculate,
to imagine, and to recreate and relive the emotional and personal experiences
that conventional histories must necessarily shy away from.”

Katy Meyers emphasizes the importance of questioning how history is presented and questioning old interpretations in New Interpretations from Old Books. Todd Braisted questions how Hollywood
compares to “what actually happened” in The
1777 Garrison of Setauket while Sam Kinchin-Smith asks what happened
to Dido
Belle – the daughter of an African slave raised by Lord Mansfield – after the movie ended.
